Comparing the Latin America Revolution and the Mexican Revolution
Revolution is a time period when a group of people stands up and fight against a
crowd of others or the society itself. I believe that it is also a step to a better and
different world where it is developed. It doesn’t happen only in a certain place, it may
happen everywhere. However, the time era is important because it is the environment
and the surroundings that actually cause the revolution. So the revolution itself is not
new every time it happens although the place can be different. Sometimes it has the
same structure to other ones but in a different way.
The Mexican Revolution, which I was in charge of, all started by inequality and
troubles between different economical states. Similarly the cause of the Latin
America Revolution, the cause of it was high tax demand only on the lower economic
state men. They are both complaints by the lower class and soon, they burst their
unfair treatment out. I believe they were influenced by other revolution such as the
French Revolution. The ideas were brought in by those who were educated outside or
merchants who came to trade.
Through the consequences of the two revolutions, I could find some similar facts.
Such as both of them were mainly led by one person. Whereas some revolutions
happened without clear leaders trooping with an army. Some different points would
be that the Mexican Revolution didn’t quite have a certain stage were radicals took
over and created more violence. As the splashcast I watched about the Latin America
contained clear stages such as the moderate, radical, and thermidor stages.
After the consequences comes the courses. As I said before history and the
revolution repeats itself. So does the courses also known as the conclusion repeats.
The Mexican Revolution ended by gaining independence and agreeing on the three
rules. The Latin America could gain independence aswell as laws, justice and free
labors.
Thus I think the two revolutions might seem to have nothing in common, the ideas
or the influences overlap each other creating similar sequences through out the
revolution. As listed above, there are specific events or characteristics that look alike
in every stage. In my opinion, revolutions are just a step towards a better society and
nearly every country has its own pace though they might be almost identical.
